Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 1, 2
Chronic H. pylori infection and the use of aspirin and NSAIDs are the two major risk factors for PUD. Alcohol and dietary intake do not seem to cause PUD, and the role of stress is uncertain in PUD.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 1, 2
Diagnostic tests for gastroesophageal reflux disease include a barium swallow, which evaluates the esophagus, stomach, and upper intestine, and upper endoscopy, which allows direct visualization of the esophagus. CT scan, complete blood count, and colonoscopy are not diagnostic tests for gastroesophageal reflux disease.
